I'm back to girly today with a CAS card. I really love this Butterflies Fluttering stamp set from Whimsy Stamps, and this time I didn't even colour the butterfly! Instead I stamped and heat embossed on to a piece of left over peachy pink paper that I'd used as the centre panel on the card.

I stamped the Farmhouse Shiplap background stamp onto white card with Weathered Wood Distress Ink and finished off with a doily die cut from grey card, a digital sentiment from the Everyday Banner Sentiments and a few dots of black Nuvo Drops. As always, I make the drops onto freezer paper and allow to dry before adhering to my card with some wet glue. I find I get a much better and glossy shape that is definitely more dimensional than if I just pop them straight onto the card direct from the bottle. I'm totally Awkward Annie! 😜

Whimsy Stamps released a great stamp set this month aimed at family of men and women in the military service. I did some heat embossing on the heart and sentiment, and teamed this up with the Camo Background stamp (I used Weathered Wood distress ink)

I love the colour of the background, it sort of reminds me of a Toile print so I'm going to try this to make a more Bev style card with flowers and lace.

Whimsy Stamps have released the sweetest stamp set this month - Best Buddies, perfect for cards for little lads and their dogs. And seriously, could this be any cuter??

I used a paper pad I picked up from The Range, love these soft muted colours. I kept it simple with a banner layer and some twine and Nuvo Crystal Drops to finish the card off. I drop the Nuvo Drops onto freezer paper and leave overnight to dry then adhere them to the card with some liquid glue. I find they are way more dimensional and even shaped doing them this way as opposed to straight from the bottle on to the card.

I'm really enjoying a break from all the frills and foofiness with these CAS cards. I think this one is the most CAS I've ever done, and I wasn't even tempted to fiddle, ha! I've used one of the new releases at Whimsy Stamps, Build a Garden die set.

I picked up this stunning paper pad from The Works a while back, it is just so perfect for these sweet little bird houses.

A sentiment from the Fly By clear stamps set and one new home card done!
